I'm so sorry to hear the news about Bill. He was such a wonderfully kind and generous person who was a great mentor to me. We worked together, but we were also true friends. All my love to Jane at this difficult time.

Always enjoyed his photos of his wonderful trips, lovely flowers and his beautiful wife, daughter and grandchildren.
A truly special person.
Knew him from elementary school in New Brunswick. We just connected a few years ago on Facebook.
God bless all.

I am sad beyond words to hear of Bills passing. We went to high school and college together. A good man, he was. Always kind. I am glad he had a full life with Jane. I kept track of their travels over the years. My condolences to Jane and the family. Rest in peace, dear Bill

A true gent in every sense. An amazing person whose friendship meant the world. His Facebook comments from across the pond always made me smile – I’ll miss them dearly. It’s clear to see from the comments just how much everyone thought of Bill. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. xxx

Bill, you were a real star and brought joy to everyone you met. I fondly recall our times together in London, your love of a particular French bakery, and your unbelievable generosity. Miss you buddy xx

Oh! Bill was such a fun person, a gentle soul with a great sense of humor. I never knew him to have anything other than a positive attitude.
He was a friend who was also my boss once upon a time. He was so supportive. After I had my 1st baby, he created a (silly!) position in the company so I could bring my baby - crib and all! - to work with me. We laughed about it often at the time. That meant so much to me and I never forgot it. I’ll miss him and will think of him often.
